Civiballs 2

Yup, that did it. Was a bit complicated, here's a walkthrough for anyone who might get stuck like I did:

Drop the grey ball that's hanging by two chains into the catapult (you'll have to swing it over to make it land right)
Drop the red ball, he'll bounce into his pot.
Release the catapult, it will start the middle grey ball swinging, use him to knock in the red ball on the left.
Drop the grey ball on the right, it will put the one below it in position for the green ball to bounce off of him and into his pot.

Found a bug. In Inca, level 7, I can't restart the game anymore. The restart button does nothing, the space bar does nothing, but all the other controls work. It was working, then it stopped working, I reloaded the page and all is good again. Just an FYI.

It also doesn't recognize mass increases inertia, nor that the moving platform starting to move would increase the balls speed, not slow it. And I know all this from physics 1, which makes me wonder if the maker realizes the very schewed physics he uses.

I love this game! Great review too: the analysis that this sequel kept the best from the original is spot on. Why reinvent the wheel? Looking forward to the third installment...perhaps with a level editor?

As to screwed physics: cry more. The physics aren't perfect, but they don't need to be, because they're consistent and super-accurate physics would be completely unnecessary and make it harder - have fun with your pixel-perfect timing. Nothing makes me nerd rage more than "good game" being sacrificed on the altar of "good physics".

Cut top most grey guy

Cut swinging red ball so that he goes left, he'll go home (the long way).
Swing lower grey ball to the left, so that he rests up against the green pot.
Drop final green ball, he goes home.

Swing lower yellow ball into crossbow.
Swing red ball to the left, he goes home.
Swing green ball to the right, as soon as he's even with the lower grey ball, fire the crossbow, both yellow and green ball will go home.
Swing upper grey ball to the right, and drop him straight down onto crossbow
Drop second grey ball, he'll join his buddy in the crossbow.
Swing final yellow ball left, he goes home.

Tahsis: To address your comment on why so many games exhibit the same physics, Civiballs, like many other games uses the Box2D physics engine. It is a popular choice due to it being open-source, efficient, and easy to implement.

I'm not sure I understand your complaint about the bouncing, but I am certain that Box2D correctly accounts for mass and inertia. Probably in this case, the game maker chose to give larger objects the same mass as smaller ones (thus having a lower density).

Oh I love this game even more than I loved first part! This game is more challanging than most of physics games, which is ofcourse advantage. Sweet graphics, suprises and all that stuff gave me a great warmup before work. My this week's best!
